From what I remember,you soak the green bananas in warm water and you cut the ends in order to take the peel off. You brought some of my childhood memories alive. My mom will make these and some bacalao. At times she will cook for a large crowd at my father's baseball games. This is how she will earn money to buy our school clothes and supplies. I missed her cooking. Thank you for sharing. ❤❤❤❤
